Qiao Xi was taken aback.
She hadn't expected Huo Xingzhou to mention Zhong Yi at this time, nor had she expected Zhong Yi to have returned.
Since that day, she had stopped following news about him.
Her whole heart had been set on "Plum Blossom Nine Needles."
She paused before saying, "He is from the Imperial Capital, it should be normal for him to return. Even Xiang Mingzhu has gone back..."
There was no sense of reluctance in her expression, and even a touch of surprise.
Huo Xingzhou nodded, "The trial of the needles convention is also approaching. The Liu Family hopes both families can have a family banquet, as a kind of practice ceremony. Would you like to go?"
Qiao Xi recalled how these past days the Liu Family had been sending things to the hospital and the small villa without seeming to intrude.
Xu Yunye always held Liu Rongbao at a distance, watching her without coming forward to bother.
Liu Huimin did the same.
